To register an API-Portal with CentraSite
1. In CentraSite Business UI, click Manage Governance Rules in the activity bar.

In this field…
Do the following…
Name
Mandatory. Enter a name for the API-Portal. An API-Portal name can contain any character (including spaces).
An API-Portal name does not need to be unique within the registry. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple API-Portals the same name. As a best practice, consider adopting appropriate naming conventions to ensure that API-Portal are distinctly named within an organization.

Organization
Choose the organization to which this API-Portal will be registered. (The drop-down list will contain the list of organizations to which you are permitted to add assets.)
Note:  
Choose the organization with care. You cannot change the organization assignment after the API-Portal is registered to the organization.
Consumer Organization
Choose the organization to which the users of API-Portal will be added.
*Use Existing (default): Select a previously existing organization.
*Create New: Enter a new organization name.

When this field is specified, CentraSite automatically associates the API-Portal user with the specified organization during the user onboarding. To know more about the API-Portal user onboarding in CentraSite, see Communicating Between CentraSite and API-Portal .
